    Does Golden Boy have the resources to make Lara a star if he dominates Canelo?

    If Lara guns through Canelo and completely embarrasses him, what happens next for Lara? I really hope it won't be another repeat with what went on after Rigo did to Top Rank's next hypejob Donaire. They've completely castrated him over on that side to the point where he has to beg Arum to give him a fight date on HBO.

    Does Golden Boy have a good line of opponents for Lara to take on to keep him active?

    Lara's not a Golden Boy fighter. He's strictly with Al Haymon now.

      Im a big Lara fan and he's a tough sell to people who don't really follow the sport.

      I'll say no.

        But it's under the assumption that he'll be fighting Golden Boy fighters, or at least other fighters who are managed by Haymon. It's not like Arum is going to start working with Haymon anytime soon.

          Golden Boy can hardly make Canelo a star, yet you think there is a shimmer of hope they can make Lara a star?

          No, they can't. And I have no clue why you would even be curious of this.

            No, just no. Technical fighters are my preference too but Lara doesn't have many dimensions.

              Do you think they'll do him as bad as Top Rank did Rigo though?

                It was never a plan by GBP to make Lara a "STAR" certainly not over Canelo, which is why he is making this fight so personal.

                  You are asking the wrong question. Will GBP have enough resources after Lara embarrasses Canelo?

                    Lara will never be a star, no matter what happens. It's not even about fanbase. Landy's style doesn't appeal to anyone but the hardcore fan. People will more quickly forget about him than Canelo, even in defeat.
